In continuous development since 1995, The Gazetteer for Scotland is a vast geographical encyclopaedia, featuring details of towns, villages, bens and glens from the Scottish Borders to the Northern Isles. It is now the most extensive geographical description of Scotland, with thousands of embedded maps and photographs. The first comprehensive gazetteer produced for Scotland since 1885, it includes tourist attractions, industries and historical sites, together with histories of family names and clans, biographies of famous Scots and descriptions of historical events associated with Scotland. The network of connections between all of these entries make this gazetteer unique.

Is this really open data?
Very happy to be proved wrong but as far as I can tell this doesn't come from HM government, nor is it a free as in 'open' downloadable dataset. There are copyright restrictions in place, personal use only (http://www.scottish-places.info/copyright.html). Perhaps the author could clarify the copyright and terms of use, and the gazetteer's relevance within a goverment resource of open public data?
If this is indeed an openly available dataset could a direct download link be posted?
Kind Regards,
